Default Getting a bluetooth keyboard (diNovo edge) to work with my phone

What packages would I need to install to do this, and is it even possible? This would be one of the things that would turn me from iPhone to Android if working.

Default And the answer is....

Take a look. I used it on my WinMo 6800 (Professional 6.1). It was awesome.

I don't have it for Android, but I'd be willing to bet it'd do what you're looking for.
Lovin' Android...I just hope it keeps Lovin' Me.

Most Bluetooth keyboards use HID, which should all work with the aforementioned app. A few Bluetooth keyboards use SPP (including all Blackberry BT keyboards). SPP is supported by KeyPro. Even fewer support both, in which case I think HID offers the better choice.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I like Android enough that I'm getting a Nexus One (this is a previous iPhone owner talking). If I can get Android to work with my keyboard in all likelyhood I won't go back to the iPhone. I currently have a MyTouch but it just doesn't have the RAM I need to run a dozen widgets and apps while running a Cyanogen ROM with a custom theme.

Well it works but to me $12 is a lot for a software program that adds a feature that seems like it should be integrated with Android...
